The Governing Council of the University of Abuja might announce the name of the new Vice Chancellor (VC) of the university today.
This indication emerged in Abuja during the weekend after three candidates were finally short-listed for the post of VC of the university, out of over 124 candidates.
Those short-listed after the stakeholders’ meeting, involving the members of the university academic community, include Professors Mr. Umar Danbatta of Bayero University, Kano, Mr. Armstrong Adejo of Benue State University, and Mr. Raheem Lawal from the University of Ilorin.
The current VC of the university, Professor James Adelabu’s tenure ends on June 30, 2014. The university, however, is currently closed over protest by students over an indefinite strike by a faction of the staff union of the institution.
